GE 7-Day In-Wall SunSmart Digital Timer Switch — Backlit LCD & Auto Sunrise/Sunset

The GE 7-Day In-Wall SunSmart Digital Timer is a hardwired rocker-style timer switch that automates lights with up to seven weekly programs and automatic sunrise/sunset adjustment.

This in-wall timer replaces a standard single-pole or three-way switch to give your permanently wired lighting or fixtures scheduled control. It supports LED, CFL, incandescent and halogen loads, provides a backlit LCD for easy viewing, and includes SunSmart technology to align on/off times with local dawn and dusk throughout the year. The unit also offers random security offsets, a countdown function, and interchangeable faceplates to blend with common wallplate colors.

How does the SunSmart feature simplify scheduling?

SunSmart automatically adjusts programmed dusk and dawn times based on your geographic location, so your lights turn on at true sunset and off at true sunrise without manual reprogramming. This keeps lighting aligned with seasonal daylight changes and reduces the need for constant schedule updates.

• Auto-adjusts sunrise/sunset daily for your region
• Works with scheduled ON/OFF presets and dusk/dawn settings
• Reduces manual reprogramming as daylight shifts through seasons
• Optional daylight-saving time setting to avoid clock resets

What schedule and security options are available?

The timer supports up to seven distinct ON/OFF events per week, so you can set different routines for weekdays, weekends or special days. A built-in random feature alters programmed times by up to 30 minutes to mimic occupancy, and a countdown timer lets you automatically shut lights off after a set period.

• Create unique schedules for each day of the week
• Random security mode shifts events ± up to 30 minutes
• Countdown function for temporary lighting needs
• Backlit LCD makes reviewing programs fast and simple

Can I install this in common home wiring setups and with modern bulbs?

Yes — the GE 7-Day SunSmart timer is designed for single-pole and three-way installations where a neutral wire is present. It is rated to control LED, CFL, incandescent and halogen fixtures, making it compatible with most interior and exterior hardwired lighting loads.

• Accepts LED, CFL, incandescent and halogen lamps
• Fits single-pole or three-way circuits with neutral wiring
• Replaces rocker-style switches and acts as ON/OFF when closed
• Includes white and light almond replaceable faceplates (wallplate not included)

How easy is setup and everyday use?

Setup is straightforward for anyone comfortable with typical switch replacement and basic programming via the backlit LCD. The door conceals buttons for a clean appearance, and the screen displays the clock and programming information for quick edits. Daylight-saving time has an optional automatic mode to avoid seasonal resets.

• Backlit LCD for clear programming and time display
• Replaceable door hides controls and acts as the switch face
• Optional automatic DST setting prevents manual changes
• Simple weekday/weekend and daily programming options

Who is this for? Homeowners and installers who want reliable, programmable control of hardwired lighting without relying on smart-home hubs will benefit from this GE timer. It’s well suited for porch and entry lighting, ceiling fixtures, seasonal decorations, and any permanently installed lights where independent weekly scheduling, sunrise/sunset automation and simple security features are desired.
